Description
See pictures of these in my folder here .This costume is not for everyone. Only intermediate to advanced swimmers should attempt swimming in it, and always have a buddy with you. For those of you who want to know how to swim in it, my Kairi made a swimming tutorial for you. Please practice first and always stay safe.
Lots of requests for this, so here you go.
This took a lot of research online to figure out for myself and I'm sharing it for other fans. xD
The tops are not covered in the tutorial. All I did was take the swimsuit material and cover a bikini top for Kairi, making up my own pattern for it. Sora's is a surfer's rash guard I cut the bottom off, put in elastic, and added the detailing, so when we're next to each other, people can see the similar theme based off their KH2 tops.
Everyone go say hi to my amazing Kairi! She's such a good sport and willing to put up with all my costume crap, and will wear whatever I make her. She needs to get credit for being awesome. ^_^
UPDATE: For those girls wanting to know how I would make a 'naked top' Sora, SEE HERE

A blanket Thank You to everyone who favorited this! If you do make a tail, please post a picture cause I want to see your interpretations and designs!
edit: DeviantArt moved this deviation for me... er... thanks?
edit2: Wow, this got a daily deviation?! No way O.o
edit3: redid the tutorial so it's a little easier to read... and doesn't have spelling mistakes.

I wish i saw this when i was working on a Husky cosplay [link]
can you walk in that suit? (sans fin, of course)

Colt-kun In reply to lindera10 [2011-05-25 07:13:31 +0000 UTC]
No, we cannot walk in it at all. To walk, we have to remove the fin and pull the tail off. I wear biker shorts under mine, and my friend wore a bikini bottom under hers.

it's really not that hard to make. If you make the pattern yourself, and simply ask her to sew it, the sewing part is like two minutes.

Wow! How did you walk around in that at a convention? It's amazing! I have to try this!

Colt-kun In reply to Mousetalon [2011-05-25 07:17:07 +0000 UTC]
Well, we found a sea witch, and bartered our voices...
Actually, we take the fins out through the bottom, pull the tails off, and walk. I wear biker shorts and she wears a bikini bottom under our tails. It can feel very weird to have two separate legs after having them bound together for a while...

Colt-kun In reply to Nip-point [2011-05-25 07:17:45 +0000 UTC]
not yet. Both our tails died shortly after, so I'm remaking mine and then we're going to film it with an underwater camera.

Wow! Great job! Esp making it swimable. With my crappy sewing abilities I'd never be able to make this. but it's by far one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

Colt-kun In reply to Greyfire-Valentine [2011-05-25 07:18:54 +0000 UTC]
there really isn't much sewing - just down the two sides and putting elastic in. I'm sure you could do it!
